Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Evelyn's Phoenix
Evelyn's Phoenix heads this ten-runner Class 6 contest at Ripon over ten furlongs on good ground, sitting narrowly ahead of Back From Dubai and a few pounds clear of the chasing pack, which gives her a slender but meaningful edge on the figures. Back From Dubai represents the most pressing threat and could well reverse matters if the gap proves as tight in practice as it looks on paper, while Balance Of Trade and Ten Sixty Six cannot be dismissed in what shapes as a genuinely open affair. The form of the entire field is modest and the margin for error is small, but on balance Evelyn's Phoenix holds the strongest claims and is the selection.
